Eco-friendly

The Festival cinéma du monde de Sherbrooke is embedding sustainability in its organizational culture. This comes from a fervent desire to play an active part in society, minimize its ecological footprint and contribute to the local economy.

The Festival cinéma du monde de Sherbrooke is committed to:

Raising awareness and encouraging eco-friendly behaviour throughout the duration of the festival

Being open and transparent about its own actions and behaviours

Ensuring that its actions and decisions are compliant to current laws and regulations

Environmental sphere

Management of residual waste: Based on the principle of the 4R’s (rethink, reduce, reuse, recycle), we will seek to implement initiatives that promote best practice in terms of management of residual waste.

Visitors’ and participants’ mobility: We will raise awareness of public transport and carpooling as well as ensure that our guests’ accommodation is close to the town-centre. Since the festival takes place in the town-centre, we will encourage our festivalgoers to visit our local shops and restaurants.

We strive to raise awareness of the advantages of leading environmentally friendly lifestyles and screen films that focus on sustainable development, the protection of the environment and ecology.

Social sphere

Responsible employer: We promote harmonious relationships in the workplace, offer a clean and safe work environment and have fair and equitable hiring practices and working conditions.

We want to develop a number of special events and activities with a variety of local organizations that will target specific audiences. These could be university debates, youth programs as well as other activities done in partnership with the community.

Our volunteers: We want to develop different volunteer committees and encourage the local community to take an active part in the festival.
